In 2011 MLB (Major League Baseball) will have their All-Star game in Phoenix, Arizona. Already there are rumblings among the Latino players about boycotting the game due to the State of Arizona's recent immigration law that will take effect 29 July 2010. Christine Neumann-Ortiz, Executive Director of the immigrants right's group 'Voces de la Frontera' calls such actions courageous and that Mr. Bud Selig, MLB Commissioner, should take notice. This is a law to be considered for law enforcement personnel when confronting possibly suspected illegal immigrants in the State of Arizona: asking for prove of U.S. citizenship, etc.
Perhaps another question that should be asked of these possible immigrants, since they cite a possible unfairness of treatment on their part, is whether they know or do not know, whether they partook or did not partake in the deaths of over 100,000 indigenous Nahua during the past forty years or so around Mesoamerica ant the Yucatán. Remember the photoplay 'Salvador' (1986)? Also reported out of London recently the treatments of possible immigrants out of Mesoamerica through Mexico unto the U.S. (rapings, kidnappings & murders, etc). Any answering to that as well? I, for my part, would also like to have these questions answered; perhaps in the Internation Court of Justice at The Hague. At least before someone crys foul; especially considering their PR.
